The Capital Transit System is the public transportation agency that serves the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska. Owned by the municipality, it operates sixteen bus routes, three of which run 6am to 11pm (6pm Sundays), seven days a week, with the remaining thirteen running as limited weekday express services.^[1] Although CTS, like most US bus systems, operates fixed routes with fixed stations, some stops are flag stop only and some routes offer complete flag stop service along the route.
